Your scare me rather. My reflection in the glass never did that of course, I knew it so well. Like something I had tamed...I'm going to smile, and my smile will sink down into your pupils, and heaven knows what it will become.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I have no religion, but if I were to choose one, it would be that of Shariati's.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The consciousness that says 'I am' is not the consciousness that thinks.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I suppose it is out of laziness that the world is the same day after day. Today it seemed to want to change. And then anything, anything could happen.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Un homme n'est rien d'autre qu'une se rie d'entreprises. A man is no other than a series of undertakings.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
Thus it amounts to the same thing whether one gets drunk alone or is a leader of nations.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre
You see, I'm fond of teasing, it's a second nature with me—and I'm used to teasing myself. Plaguing myself, if you prefer I don't tease nicely.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I want to leave, to go somewhere where I should be really in my place, where I would fit in . . . but my place is nowhere I am unwanted.
Jean-Paul Sartre
What is boredom? It is when there is simultaneously too much and not enough.
Jean-Paul Sartre
There were days when you peered into yourself, into the secret places of your heart, and what you saw there made you faint with horror. And then, next day, you didn't know what to make of it,you couldn't interpret the horror you had glimpsed the day before. Yes, you know what evil costs.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I receive letters from workers, from secretaries. . . . They are the most interesting ones.
Jean-Paul Sartre
This then is the age of reason.
Jean-Paul Sartre
We must act out passion before we can feel it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.
Jean-Paul Sartre
